If your gamepad has only a few fire buttons (like the Sega Master System pad)
you cannnot use any of them as a shift key. To add some buttons without
modding the gamepad i've found these small IR remotes handy. Combined
with a generic MCE IR receiver, you can map the remote buttons to
keyboard keys using programs like EventGhost or ir-keytable.

New command-line tools released

They still need a bit of debugging, but they are already quite usable.

mSDL first public release

After more than a year of development i am pleased to announce the first
public release of mSDL!
This is currently my most ambitious project: an high-level library for
videogames programming "that aims to be for PC what PAlib is for NDS".

command-line MESS launcher

For the command line warriors here it is a MESS frontend (both in Windows and
Linux' shell sauce) that will let you launch the emulator without
remembering its criptic internal system and device names.
Download from the cmdline-tools project page.
